Prepare entrees, sides, desserts - everything you need for a delicious meal with the set. Constructed of heavy-gauge forged aluminum, each piece in this set features a matte black finish complemented by stainless steel handles. Each piece in the cookware set has 3 layers of internally reinforced nonstick coating, so you don't have to worry about things sticking in the pan. The shaped bases of each stainless steel handle dissipate heat, keeping the handles cool so you can safely move a pot off the burner. The pots and pans are compatible with all stovetops. Handwash is recommended. Make a great addition to any kitchen.
